WATCH | 'Abusive' salon owner seeks legal advice after being caught on camera swearing at employee

[schumi]

Eastgate Mall management has condemned the "abusive" behaviour of an upmarket salon boss towards staff members.
Her actions were captured in a series of video clips taken at the "Nail Me" salon on Tuesday. The videos caused an uproar on social media, with calls for the salon to be shut down.
In one of the videos, a woman - believed to be the salon owner - can be seen asking a female staff member where she's been. She responds that she went to the toilet, and the woman then asks why it took between 15 and 20 minutes.
Moments later, the woman closes doors at the salon before walking toward staff members shouting.
"F**k, everybody, stop everything you’re doing … " she can be heard saying.

Vids contain swearing and loud

This is one of those situations where the full story is probably needed to make a judgement.

As a general comment, this type of thing is why labour laws are stupid. If these employees goofed, then she should have been able to fire them on the spot.

There is no legal solution for blatant ignorant stupidity.

It shouldn't take you 20min to take a piss

Any bets on how long before this is labelled racism?

Oh boy here we go again.....

She'll get what's coming if it's due.

I can almost feel that woman's frustration. I won't judge her as I have felt like doing the same (or worse) to people many times. In fact, I just had that feeling a few minutes ago again when reading my emails.

I personally don't think its ever appropriate to treat your employees like that. If they have done something that bad, then fire them. Ideally at this point you would have enough information that you can make it stick even if the CCMA comes at you.

There is just no good reason to treat people like this. To scream at your employees like a fishwife? Wow.

I don't see any problems here, :/
You people are too soft.

And if you're a woman and it is that time of the month for you?

And if you're a woman and it is that time of the month for you?

That is a different situation

When the owner opened her mouth the first time for asking why the toilet break took too long it turned into racism.

 

[namzsteve]

Oyoooh, this lady could've easily avoided this

Some people need to be shouted at but call them into your office, we have the same **** at our office , employees going to make coffee then striking up a loud conversation with someone.
